1.2 hasn't been released yet, I assume you mean 1.1.4.

Have you tried xf86config as root? I'm not familiar with
your particular brand of video card, but it does seem to
be in the database of xf86config.

Also, if you do have trouble setting it up even after you've
successfully run thru xf86config, you may want to upgrade to
XFree86 3.2 available on most Debian mirrors currently under
frozen/, as it has better support for many video cards.

PS There's no need to read the Howto if you can get it
working with xf86config.  And if you have 3.2 then you
may want to use the new graphic interface for setting up,
that is, XF86Setup.
